No. 16
: JAS. D. IRELAND BECOMES
MEMBER OF FIRM OF M. A.
HANNA & COMPANY—EARL
E. HUNNER GENERAL MGR.
It will be of much interest to the iron mining community of the Lake Superior region to
hear that James D. Ireland of Duluth, for the
past ten years general manager of companies
for which M. A. Hanna & Company act as
operating sales agents, became a member of
the firm of M. A. Hanna & Co., Sept. 1. He is
preparing to leave at once for Cleveland to
assume his new and more intimate duties with
this big mining and vessel enterprise.
Duluth and the Lake Superior region will
regret to lose Mr. Ireland, but everybody that
knows him will rejoice at his splendid advancement, for he is a very popular gentleman. He has won his spurs in big league
mining activities.
The official announcement of firm changes
in M. A. Hanna & Company is as follows:
"M. A. Hanna & Company announce
that Mr. R. L. Ireland has this day retired from membership in the firm and
that Messrs. L. C. Hanna, Jr., and James
D. Ireland, have associated themselves as
firm members with the remaining partners, Messrs. L. C. Hanna, Sr., M. Andrews, H. M. Hanna, Jr., F. B. Richards,
Wm. Collins and R. F. Grant.
"Cleveland, 0.
"September 1st, 1917."
Mr. Ireland's successor as general manager
of companies for Mr. A. Hanna & Company is
Earl E. Hunner of Duluth, who but a short
time ago was apointed general superintendent
under Mr. Ireland. Mr. Hunner, therefore,
comes in for a quick and handsome promotion.
Both of these gentlemen have received many
congratulations during the week. Mr. Hunner
formerly was general superintendent of mines
for Great Northern Ore. and he went with M.
A. Hanna & Company when the latter recently
took over a number of producing mines, and
several undeveloped properties, situated on
the Mesaba range, from the Great Northern
Ore. Prior to going with Great Northern Ore
Mr. Hunner was with the Oliver Iron Mining
Company.
M. A. Hanna & Company is a large and rapidly growing concern, operating iron and coal
mines and a lake fleet of vessels. In addition
to the several important Hill ore properties
that the company took over in July, M. A.
Hanna & Company has iust taken over the
Susquehanna coal mines, formerly operated by
the Pennsylvania Railway Company. These
mines comprise an important addition to the
company's assets, representing, as they do,
about 5% of the total annual output of anthracite coal in the United States. The colliers are
located at Shamokin, Lykens, Shaft and Min-
ersville, Penn.
LOWER LAKE CONDITIONS IMPROVING.
It is expected that the priority shipment
order recently issued to 46 coal carrying roads
in the middle West, by Judge R. S. Lovett,
chairman of the shipping board, will help
somewhat in providing more cars for ore carrying from the lower lakes receiving docks,
and thus speed up the discharging of cargoes.
It is claimed at Duluth that the past week has
witnessed some improvement.
GERMAN PRESS GETS PEEVISH.
A querulous strain has crept into the editorial comments of the German press, and was
particularly noticeable in those comments upon
President Wilson's reply to the Pope's peace
note. The flippancy and covert threats with
which the German press has been accustomed
to tell the United States things, is wanting,
according to the cabled utterances. The bands
will be playing Yanke Doodle under the windows of some of those German editorial rooms
one of these days, unless the Kaiser comes out
of it in time.
HARRY R. ARMSTRONG,
Of Duluth, Secretary of the National Iron
Company.
NEW MESABA RANGE IRON MINE.
The Sachem Iron Company of Duluth, of
which H. C. Dudley of this city is president,
will develop and mine the ore from the Burns
forty, situated in section 4, East of Eveleth,
Mesaba range. The Bowe-Burke Mining Company of Duluth, which operates the Morrow
mine, also near Eveleth, has a contract from
the Sachem Iron Company to mine the ore
from the Burns forty. It is a small Bessemer
property, and will be developed for production
by shaft, and will enter the shipping list next
season. The Duluth & Iron Range railroad will
serve this new iron mine. The Sachem is a
new independent iron mining company.
HOPKINS MINE IS PRODUCING.
The Hopkins mine on the Cuyuna range is
rapidly being put,, in shape for regular production by the Breitung Company. Ore is being
hoisted in the course of development work and
put in stockpile. The property produces manganiferous ore, and is a neighbor of the Mille
Lacs and Sultana properties.
I
EXPLORATION IS ACTIVE
ON CUYUNA RANGE FOR
MANGANIFEROUS IRON
ORE—TRACTS RE-DRILLED
Exploration work on the Cuyuna iron range
is very active at this time, and the number of
drills in operation is constantly increasing.
A. J. McLennan, manager of the George H.
Crosby interests, who is spending the summer
at Crosby, was in Duluth this week. He says
that the activity in exploration on the range
now is the greatest since five and six years
ago. The present great activity is encouraged
mainly by hte good demand for manganiferous
iron ores. Most of the new options for leases
that are being made relate to tracts presumed
to contain such ores. Most of the drilling now
in progress is to locate manganiferous iron
ore bodies.
The Crosby Exploration Company is operating two drills on the Southwest quarter of the
Southeast quarter of 28, 47-29, situated Northwest of Crosby village. This land was drilled
11 years ago and manganiferous iron ore was
located, together with considerable low grade
iron ore. This property is being re-drilled on
the strength mainly of the manganiferous ore
possibilities. The tract lies between the
Algoma and the McKenzie mines. Crosby Exploration Company also is drilling five miles
Northeast of Aitkin, near Hassman. Some
drilling was done there 12 years ago, in the
days when ground was being tested for iron
formation. The results at that time were such
as to justify drilling more thoroughly. The
Superior, Wis., parties that drilled the Southeast quarter of 1, 46-29, immediately East of
the Croft mine, are now drilling the Southeast
quarter of 8, 46-29. A New York syndicate
will, it is expected, close for a lease of the
North V2 of the Southeast quarter of 1, 46-29,
about Nov. 1.
Cuyler Adams and associates are putting
drills on the Northeast quarter of the Northeast quarter of 32, 47-29, situated near the
Algoma mine. O. E. Berge of Superior is
drilling the Southeast quarter of the Southeast quarter of 22, 47-29. Cuyler Adams and
associates have an option on the West hk of
the Northwest quarter of 20, 46-29, and the
property will be explored.
The Hill Mines Company is laying track
from the Northeast quarter of the Northwest
quarter of 11, 46-29 to a point in 2, 46-29. The
company is preparing to strip the property in
11, and a dumping ground has been obtained
in 2 for the waste material. The haul will be
about V2 mile.
NEW ORE RAILROAD PROJECT.
Cuyuna Southern Railway Is Incorporated by
Cuyler Adams and Sons.
Cuyler Adams of Deerwood, Minn., is promoting a railroad from the Cuyuna range to
St. Paul. It is designed primarily for the
transportation of iron ore. In addition to the
new demand for ore to be shipped via Mississippi river, there is strong prospect of iron and
steel industries in St. Paul. The Cuyuna
Southern is the name of the new corporation
which Mr. Adams and his sons, C. C. Adams
and R. M. Adams, have caused to be incorporated, with an initial capital of $100,000.
Cuyler Adams is not new to the business of
promoting railroad enterprises, and his new
project will be watched with interest.
